Nice Old Barbed Wire Ball, Found in Kansas City old copper box I'm not sure if madeI found a large barbed wire ball a few years ago, but this is the first I've come across since in Kansas City, which seems a logical place to find a barbed wire ball! I like these as object and sculpture, making me think of both tumbleweeds and of Meret Oppenheim! Tightly wound, and with rusting to the wire, but this one not aggressively sharp. About 7 1 2" widest diameter. Good, tightly wound and very sound condition.
